La Sportiva Miura VS Vibram XS Edge Climbing Shoe

Psyched!

By Backcountry.com Employee May 11, 2009

Finally got my pair of these and and they are breaking in nicely. I did size down a 1/2 size from my Miura's and I still think this is the way to go. (42 in Miura/41.5 in Miura VS). Had to wear them at home while watching TV (which sucked) to get them stretched out a bit, then shifted to bouldering in them for a bit and now they are stretching out and breaking in to be my tech trad face/crack shoe. They do stretch but it takes some time and pain equity. The nice thing is that when they do break in they become really comfortable, but stay very precise and technical.

Just got these resoled at Rock and Resole in Boulder and they climb as good as new, except I didn't have to re-break them in. You should be able to get at least one re-sole out of these shoes, and RandR is the best. Still my go-to hard granite shoe. Love em.
